Expanding Healthcare Access in Imo State: A New Hospital and Bridge Unveiled
Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, is making significant strides in improving healthcare and infrastructure in the state. Recently, he inaugurated a 42-bed general hospital in Oguta Local Government Area, a move aimed at addressing the dire need for better healthcare facilities and reducing the high mortality rate in the state, which currently stands at a staggering 75%.
During the commissioning ceremony, Governor Uzodinma reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to utilizing the 13% derivation funds for the betterment of the people of Imo State, with the ultimate goal of fostering collective prosperity.
In a touching tribute to a luminary figure in Imo State’s history, the late Senator Francis Nzeribe, Governor Uzodinma named the newly commissioned hospital after him. Senator Nzeribe, born in Oguta in 1938, served as a Senator for the Orlu Senatorial constituency in Imo State, representing the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). His contributions to the state and the nation as a whole were immense. Sadly, he passed away in May 2022 at the age of 83.

In addition to the hospital, Governor Uzodinma also unveiled a 12-meter asphalted bridge that connects six communities in Oguta and establishes a vital link to Anambra State. This bridge not only enhances connectivity but also promotes economic and social interactions among communities.
The hospital’s inauguration marks a significant milestone, especially considering that it was constructed after decades of neglect. It reflects Governor Uzodinma’s dedication to fulfilling his promises of Shared Prosperity and comprehensive infrastructural development in Imo State.
This initiative underscores the importance of accessible and quality healthcare services for the people of Imo State. It also demonstrates the government’s commitment to improving the overall well-being and prosperity of the state’s residents. With these essential projects, Governor Uzodinma is shaping a brighter and healthier future for Imo State.
